Abstract

Brønsted acidic ionic liquid immobilized on a melamine-formaldehyde resin (AIL-MFR) was synthesized through the reaction of melamine-formaldehyde resin (MFR) with 1,4-butanesulfonate. Using PEG-2000 as the additive, the MFR can be prepared in regular microspheres with an average diameter of 3.97 μm and surface area of 9.09 m2 g−1. The AIL-MFR had high acidity of 2.93 mmol g−1, mainly from the sulfonic groups. The catalysis results showed that the AIL-MFR had high activity and stability for acetalization with excellent conversions and yields for most substrates. Furthermore, immobilization of the acidic ionic liquid on the MFR made the recycling of the catalyst convenient.
